Looking for recommendations for a cheap but good pair of Bluetooth headphones. I can use headphones at work in the morning but cabled ones get in the way a lot.

You know what? I agree. They should not have split the season up into two parts.

They should do what we did in the pre-streaming days and only drop one episode a week.

You know what Rory should’ve been allowed to tell at least one of her big three boyfriends to fuck off

The producer of HOD ripped women today. Sara Hess is confused why females online love Daemon. Which reminds me a little of the whole Chuck love. I think women in our society have a lot to work on still.

Okay I'm guessing you're referencing this Hollywood Reporter line item. But, okay, I read it bc I was curious, and I don't think she "ripped" anyone, she was just saying she didn't get it, because Daemon, though an interesting and complicated character, is not a good person, and has many qualities that are not...shall I say...desirable in a partner. And like, I agree with her tastes, but like the quote the article gives from Clare Kilner (one of the directors), I don't not get the appeal, because I think the sensation has a lot to do with the performance Matt Smith is giving.

and like, I'm not gonna preach to people what they should or shouldn't like. it's fiction. Daemon rides a dragon and goes cliff climbing for dragon eggs, he ain't real. And maybe it's reminiscent of the chip wiskers billionaire dream boyfriend effect (tm strideofpride), by a simplistic reading of the "bad boy" attraction parallel, but they just...do not read the same to me. maybe that's because I enjoy seeing Smith as Daemon on screen, and I get no joy in seeing the other guy.

The difference is Daemon is a well-written, complex, interesting character portrayed by an exceptionally skilled and talented performer. Chuck Bass had none of those things going for his character.

and I don't think people making memes and jokes about lusting after daemon is indicative of some moral failing in women. idk it's something I've thought about a lot, both here on tumblr and in discussions with friends about HOTD and other shows, that culturally we (in the royal sense of the word) are more secular than ever before, and in the absence of a religion to offload our moral weight-lifting to, we now do it with the media we consume and the media and characters we like, as a way to showcase our virtue. and therefore, liking a "bad" or, should I say, "unvirtuous" character, reflects poorly on us. but that's just not how stories work, or at least, not how they should work. To me, the only kind of bad character is an uninteresting one, one that I don't care to get to know or hear their story. and Daemon is not a bad character, and in the hands of an excellent writing and production team, and series of directors, and a world class performer like Smith, he's become one of the most interesting characters in the series. And, it's worth noting, several of the writers and directors of these first ten episodes are women. HOTD's story is women-led in a way GOT wasn't and I find that SO exciting!

my friend is visiting us tomorrow (yay!!), so I have to get up at a normal time, so I should sleep. but I have important things to do (reading reddit threads about several medications so that I'm prepared for my GP appointment next week (which I haven't even made yet and tomorrow is Sunday and also I will forget everything I read anyway so no I do not need to do that right now, but try telling my brain that.))

SO- I just bought a new smartphone (samsung galaxy A34) bc my old one (samsung galaxy A6) was from 2018 and -even though it technically still works- I wanted to replace it before it had the chance to die on me (so I could actually transfer my data etc this time)..

But apparently Samsung has made some weird changes since idk 2-ish years ago when my mom bought her current phone and now I'm.... ??????????

I was PREPARED that the volume buttons would now be on the same side as the on/off button (stupid change nonetheless, but I was prepared for it)..

I also knew that the charging cable would be USB-C now.... however-

I did NOT expect that apparently they only supply you with a USB-C to USB-C (?????) cable now and NO CHARGER?? you know? the thing you use to plug it into a power outlet so you can CHARGE THE BATTERY?? I can't even plug this cable I got into my computer either bc it's USB-C to USB-C instead of USB-A..

ALSO MISSING NOW APPARENTLY: A headphone jack??? what is up with this minimalist bullshit, Samsung?? I didn't even use a headphone with my phone often, bc I usually only watch videos on it at home, but still.. I'm not buying any of those stupid ass wireless things when I still have perfectly functional wired ones that I SHOULD just be able to plug into my phone.

So yeah apparently in order to even be able to use this thing I have to go back to the store and buy a seperate charger? am i the only one who thinks that's bullshit? that should be included by default and included in the price of the phone. what the fuck.
